    NASA late sixties jacket

    My grandfather had one of those. He was the Head of Propulsion at NASA and designed the conical rocket engine that was used on every launch up into the space shuttle. Worked with Jimmy Doolittle when it was still NACA and also worked on the Manhattan Project. Unfortunately the jacket was lost...

    Magnoli Escape vs. Bill Kelso Duke

    It kinda looks like I'd be a fool to not go with Thedi on this one from the sounds of it. But then here's a thought. Do you fellas think if I sent photos to Aero they would make me one, or do they not do that? It kinda looks like a modified bootlegger

    Magnoli Escape vs. Bill Kelso Duke

    That Victory Horse is nothing short of divine, but at 1850 gbp I think that falls into the only in my dreams category. I'd really like one in the brown horween that Aero uses, think they would do a custom one? Or maybe Thedi has similar hides. How do you folks like the Liberty Horse by BK. Does...

    Magnoli Escape vs. Bill Kelso Duke

    Good lawrd that is gorgeous! I bet that's more expensive than both BK and Magnoli put together.

    Magnoli Escape vs. Bill Kelso Duke

    Does anybody have or know anything about the Magnoli Escape jacket? How does it stack up against the Bill Kelso Duke? Are there any pros and cons between the two. Anybody have any personal photos of them...

    Wow look at this Beaut! Early B-3

    There was a really neat old 37' D-1 that just went off. I love those old contracts, maybe we could talk ELC into doing more early early contracts :) http://m.ebay.com/itm/Original-WW2-Vintage-D-1-Sheepskin-Leather-Flight-Jacket-/201757032150?nav=SEARCH

    Wow look at this Beaut! Early B-3

    That buckle on the chest is pretty neat, how exactly was it used though? To pull the collar down once it was buckled up? Are there any repros still around that still do this, the only one I've seen was RMNZ

    Wow look at this Beaut! Early B-3

    I was cruising ebay today and stumbled across this absolutely amazing early, whiteskin B-3. This this is seriously museum quality. If I had the money I'd bid but alas, bad timing. Thought I'd show you folks in case there are any hardcore collectors out there who are looking for one...

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    Ahhh man, If I could find a gal who liked vintage clothing and jackets as much as me I'd marry her on the spot...I don't know where I'd begin to look for such girls. Do they eve make them? Somebody should invent Fedora Lounge Dating

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    Hahaha I was just marveling at the fact that most of us seem to have the same weakness for guitars, motorcycles, and jackets. I grew up restoring '60s vintage Triumphs, playing music for a living and spending more than I earn on all three vices. Luckily they all tie pretty well into my music...

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    I think that is what I'm gonna do. I want this thing something fierce. I've got a really nice Gordon & Ferguson M422a and some early war redskin HLB Corp A-3 Trousers I may sell for the effort.

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    Hey what about this? What if I put a down payment to on a GW B-3....that way I feel like I bought one but it also forces me to wait 2 years. Does that work, or do you end up buying something in between? Ooooohh then I could have a super cool Hookless grommet zipper put on it! Or would that not...

    I mean, the B-3 is the last one left on my list. Does that trick actually work?

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    I need some help folks. My heart has been going double time at the thought of a ELC Roughwear B-3. I just drained my piggie bank on original flight gear and I'm too attached to resell it so I'm all kinds of broke. But I catch myself drifting to the HPA site to dream about the B-3. I've tried...
